A new publication on the Complication Rates of Central Venous Catheters – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis from JAMA Internal Medicine Complication Rates of Central…
"The use of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) contributes to healthcare-associated infections. In 2017, we implemented a multifaceted de-implementation strategy that successfully reduced the inappropriate use of catheters in seven hospitals in the Netherlands (RICAT-1 study). Five years later, we investigated the sustainability of this strategy and the contributing factors" van Horrik et al (2024).
"Therefore, to improve the prevention of PICC-associated bacteremias in patients, our data should encourage local infection prevention teams to implement targeted educational programs to reinforce strict aseptic practices during catheter manipulations and dressing changes" van der Mee-Marquet et al (2025).
"Our study indicates that surgical inpatients are at greater risk of developing PICC-associated upper limb deep vein thrombosis (ULDVT) compared to medical inpatients, with limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis in reducing this risk" Li et al (2024).
"This is the first study to present a comparison between home and hospital start TPN in advanced cancer patients, demonstrating that the initiation of outpatient TPN in the home setting is as safe and efficacious as TPN initiated in the hospital" Zhang et al (2024).
"This study aimed to evaluate the impact of balanced crystalloids versus isotonic saline on clinical outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality" Sudheer et al (2024).
"This report presents the case of a female patient who experienced venous extravasation following intravenous iron administration, with data collected from her patient record" Almeida et al (2024).
"A randomised, controlled trial of the efficacy of the AccuVeinAV400® device in the replacement of peripheral venous lines during a vaso-occlusive crisis was conducted at two centres in France" Corbasson et al (2024).
"This review identified nursing interventions in adults to prevent PICC-related complications, categorized into five main groups: pre-procedure, during the procedure, post-procedure, maintenance, and team management interventions. Nurses are pivotal in averting PICC complications by employing evidence-based nursing interventions at each process stage" Vilão et al (2024).
"PN was developed in the 1960s, and since then, it has become a life-saving procedure for individuals who are unable to gain all the macro- and micronutrients they need through the digestive system" Verlato et al (2024).
"Complications, namely, catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) and venous stenosis, are associated with non-cuffed hemodialysis catheters used for emergency vascular access. However, only a few reports have demonstrated changes in the venous lumen and intravenous thrombosis after catheter removal" Yoshida et al (2024).
"Extravasation injuries are prevalent in pediatric hospitals and often result in tissue damage and extended hospital stays. However, limited data exist regarding risk factors for extravasation in children. This study aimed to identify these risk factors in pediatric patients receiving intravenous (IV) therapy" Amini et al (2025).
